Is anyone else annoyed with ABC and their... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

putting subtitles in spanish on the lower screen on some of their major shows? I am hispanic, but I am sooooo damn annoyed with this crap. I can't stand having the stupid symbol in the right hand corner 24/7, now more of my screen is being taken up by this garbage. I am so glad I don't videotape these shows like I used to back in the days, because that would ruin it for me.

i cant stand the "bugs" on WB and a couple of other stations that are starting to do sound effects and "splashes" - they are completely distracting and destroy the momentum of a show (i notice them most in Smallville and Supernatural) especially when they overlap dialog and obscure the characters onscreen

Oh Yes!!! F/X does that crap too...I hate that.
Also the logo in the corner thing is so annoying...I heard that eventually (with certain t.v.'s) the logo gets burned onto the t.v. screen after some time. Is this true?
I hate the way you can no longer see credits after the end of the show because of the way they crunch it to the side...I would like to know the name of an actor that appeared, especially when you can't figure out their name, but you know the face.
Shows like Roseanne, were great, because they had their tag scenes AND the credits at the same time...so there wasn't that annoying talk-over, scrunching of credits, some other advertising.
